    His work brought national attention to the murder of Emmett Till, which became one of the flashpoints for the civil rights movement. Mr. Booker’s article in JET Magazine included an open-casket picture of the boy that shocked the nation. Rest in power, sir. And thank you.

    There was an explosion in Port Authority in NYC this morning and what does tweet about? Whining about The New York Times. The man is pathetic.

    "Do. Or do not. There is no try." Bravo, . You did that! The last 40 minutes had me on the edge of my seat in every moment. Superb storytelling. Exceptional design. I laughed. I cheered. A total joy-ride through the galaxy. So fun.

    Amen. Incredibly special in that way. And in so many others.

    : The Last Jedi is so beautifully human, populist, funny, and surprising. I cried when one POC heroine got her moment because films like these leave their mark on entire generations -- and representation matters

    It was my great honor to celebrate the opening of two extraordinary museums-the Mississippi State History Museum & the Mississippi Civil Rights Museum. We pay solemn tribute to our heroes of the past & dedicate ourselves to building a future of freedom, equality, justice & peace.

    There's so much to love about Lady Bird, which I just saw again. Here's one thing: We don't talk enough about what a treasure of an actor Stephen McKinley Henderson is.
